The glass dropper bottle can be reused if basic hygiene principles are followed. Before each new filling, the packaging must be thoroughly cleaned and then disinfected with a suitable alcohol, for example with the products IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or Ethanol 96 % denatured plant-based. Disinfection reduces the risk of microbial contamination and helps maintain the stability and safety of your product during further use.

Before the first filling, we recommend first rinsing the bottle or washing it with a suitable cleaning agent, then rinsing thoroughly with clean water and allowing it to dry completely. It is then advisable to rinse or spray the inner surface with alcohol, for example with IPA 99 % isopropyl alcohol or 96 % plant-based ethanol, and let it evaporate. Packaging prepared in this way is suitable for filling sensitive cosmetic and laboratory formulations.

If you decide not to reuse the packaging, we recommend recycling it according to local waste sorting rules. After emptying and basic cleaning, the glass bottle is usually placed in a container designated for glass. The closure (if it is made of a different material) should be sorted separately according to the material designation given in the product parameters. The exact method of recycling and any material markings can be found in the parameter table for the given product on the Handymade.sk website, so that you can dispose of the packaging in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

The dark glass of the dropper bottle helps reduce light penetration to the contents, which is beneficial for products containing plant oils, extracts, or certain active ingredients that are sensitive to light. For the final assessment of the suitability of the packaging, however, it is necessary to base it on the specific formulation and the stability of the raw materials used. For very sensitive products, we recommend carrying out your own stability tests and monitoring the behavior of the product over time under the chosen storage conditions.

To select suitable packaging, you can use the advanced filter located at the top of the page after clicking on the relevant packaging category. In the filter, you can easily select parameters such as neck, size, color, and material, as well as other available options.
